Digital Craft Weekly is a curated design inspiration resource for interactive designers and storytellers consisting of the best new digital projects. Published each Monday, our mission is to inspire new ways of creating interactive content and immersive digital experiences.

Created by MIT Media Lab student Amanda Ghassaei, Shell Form Finding is a design tool that simulates and visualizes the behavior of thin-shell structures under pure tension. While we don’t have any particular need to run virtual form finding simulations, the tool is undeniably awesome to play with.

Designed and built by DCW favorite Immersive Garden, a Paris-based digital creative agency, Wishes 2017 is a digital feel good card wishing us all a whole and well-rounded year. From the animations to the wishes themselves, Wishes 2017 is a great example of how agencies and designers can get their name out there by getting creative with personal projects.

We’re digging how Japanese-based digital creative agency Contents presented the web experience for their homepage in a physical space that can be explored on scroll. While we wish the ‘tour’ through the pyschadelic experience were a tad longer, it left us feeling particularly inspired.

Like their fellow Paris neighbors Immersive Garden, digital production agency Make Me Pulse has also put out an interactive ‘feel-good’ experience wishing everybody a happy 2017. From bouncing a light bulb to launching airplanes around the world, we’re loving how sweet and simple this digital Happy New Year card is.

From photography to web design, Japanese designer Katsuyuki Kubo is nothing short of a modern-day digital renaisance man. Here, he presents his various projects in a beautiful web experience that lets his content shine brightly.
